Church Description

• FBC Rincon is a growing church in a growing community. We exist to help people take their next steps of faith and provide them with opportunities to worship, connect, serve, grow, and multiply.

• We currently average 600 people in our Sunday morning services. We had over 1,200 in attendance for our Easter services 2023. We have lots of guests each weekend, especially young families. Our monthly Next Steps class for people interested in learning more about our church averages 15-20 in attendance. We baptized 20 people so far in 2023, and another 10 have joined our church by way of moving their membership or making a statement of faith.

• In order to keep up with the growth of our church and community, we are currently adding members to our pastoral staff and are in the initial stages of a building campaign.

• We are in the heart of one of Georgia’s fastest growing areas, Effingham County. We are a suburb of Savannah, GA, located just 15-20 miles outside the city limits. Our community has something of a small-town feel, but with the added excitement of lots of new people and industry, as well as all the amenities of living within a 30-minute drive to everything from historic, downtown Savannah, to the shopping and restaurants of Pooler, to the sights and sounds of coastal Georgia, and nearby beaches such as Tybee Island and Hilton Head, SC.
